Banana, Bear, and Bophie: February 2014
http://bananabearandbophie.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 12, 2014. Back in the Groove. Blather on about why I took a blog break, then link to the new posts. That was the note I left myself about this post I wanted to write about trying to once again get back into the swing of regular blogging. My guess is that with a smile like that, this little one is going to provide me with a lot of blog worthy material! My life sometimes- running around in circles and everything all a blur! Where We Are Now. First Day of School. When Eight Isn't Enough.

Banana, Bear, and Bophie: February 2013
http://bananabearandbophie.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 19, 2013. Juju Turns a Fabulous Five. It seems just yesterday she was placed in my arms, sigh. How could that moment be more than four years ago? How anxious I was about adoption. How worried about how she would fit into our family. Sunday, February 17, 2013. Lent Starts With a Bang. Pick up. Then I get so frustrated at the clutter and the squabbling. I forget to take a step back and enjoy my children and home, warts and all. I think to myself, "This isn't who I thought I'd be, this isn...

Banana, Bear, and Bophie: Sweet Smiles From a Usually Serious Boy
http://bananabearandbophie.blogspot.com/2013/05/sweet-smiles-from-usually-serious-boy.html
Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Sweet Smiles From a Usually Serious Boy. By Robert Louis Stevenson. How do you like to go up in a swing,. Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing. Ever a child can do! Up in the air and over the wall,. Till I can see so wide,. River and trees and cattle and all. Till I look down on the garden green,. Down on the roof so brown-. Up in the air I go flying again,. Up in the air and down! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Sweet Smiles From a Usually Serious Boy.

Banana, Bear, and Bophie: Watch Out There's a Teenager in the House
http://bananabearandbophie.blogspot.com/2013/07/watch-out-theres-teenager-in-house.html
Tuesday, July 16, 2013. Watch Out There's a Teenager in the House. Now, that smile reminds me I am the mom of a beautiful teenage girl who still can melt my heart with her kind words, her willingness to be helpful, her desire to grow to become the young woman God is asking her to be. Sure, she has her moments. Still, I am incredibly blessed to be her mom. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The days are long, but the years are short. Watch Out Theres a Teenager in the House.

Banana, Bear, and Bophie: Introducing John Edmund
http://bananabearandbophie.blogspot.com/2014/08/introducing-john-edmund.html
Wednesday, August 6, 2014. Three months have flown by. It's hard to believe this sweet boy is growing so quickly. My initial diagnosis was Peri-Partum Cardiomyopathy (PPCM) since I have not had any history of heart problems. The diagnosis is complicated by my family history though. My sister has idiopathic cardiomyopathy and it is thought that we must have some sort of genetic origin of the dilated cardiomyopathy. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Banana, Bear, and Bophie: October 2012
http://bananabearandbophie.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 24, 2012. The Baptism of Mary Elizabeth. You see how many are the benefits of baptism, and some think its heavenly grace consists only in the remission of sins, but we have enumerated ten honors it bestows! For this reason we baptize even infants, though they are not defiled by personal sins, so that there may be given to them holiness, righteousness, adoption, inheritance, brotherhood with Christ, and that they may be Christ’s members". Our first picture with all the new family member...

Banana, Bear, and Bophie: My Small Garden
http://bananabearandbophie.blogspot.com/2013/05/my-small-garden.html
Thursday, May 23, 2013. We cultivate a very small field for Christ but we love it, knowing that God does not require great achievements, but a heart that holds back nothing for self.". St Rose Philippine Dechesne. One simple test I have used to determine if my down time is becoming too indulgent is to ask myself if after the time spent do I feel energized in my duties as a wife and mother. After a Mom's Night Out do I feel renewed in my vocation? Wow, Nikki, very, very insightful! May 23, 2013 9:03 AM.

Banana, Bear, and Bophie: December 2012
http://bananabearandbophie.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 8, 2012. It's hard for me to believe this little girl is no longer a little girl. My sweet Catie Bear is already a decade. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The days are long, but the years are short. I tell myself there are memories of my children I will never forget - and there are. There are also so many little day-to-day things that I do forget, or I forget how important they seemed, or the way they made me feel. This blog is to remind me of those little things.
